2. Stitch the strap together (to hold the ring at the top of the strap loop). This can be done by stitching horizontally across the strap, stitching vertically along the edges of the strap, stitching an x in the middle... or a combination of all of them. Alternatively you could use eyelets to hold the ring in place.

3.Thread the end of a LONG strap over the middle bar of a tri-glide or slide adjuster (or buckle with the wire diddly bit in the middle wrenched off with pliers).

4. Fold the strap over the middle bar and stitch it back on to the long strap.If you have raw ends of fabric or webbing, you'll need to turn these under and stitch around to completely conceal them. If you've been to one of my classes, you'd have already learned a few tricks to keep these ends neat!!! ;).5. Lay the tri-glide end of the strap on the table with the WRONG side of the strap facing up (the side with the turned under end). Thread the other end through the ring you attached to the shorter strap.

6. Thread the end of the long strap through the tri-glide.

7. It should look a bit like this on the UNDERSIDE (and the long end of the strap continues beyond the tri-glide).

8. Attach both ends of the strap to your bag in the usual way. If you don't know what "the usual way" is, I suggest you either buy a pattern or come to a class, and I'll show you!!

wow - people like you, with awesome and clear instructions like these, really make the internet a magical place! thank you for taking the time to post and share your knowledge. i can't wait to try this out!

Thank you so much for the tutorial, but do you have any idea where I could find a 2 and 1/2" Tri-glide? I am trying to make a guitar strap and the only Tri-glides I can find anywhere online are 2" or less.

Oh boy! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I needed to see this! LOL! This is really helpful. I didn't know the names of those rings and slide adjuster before, but then now I know. Thanks to you! Yaye!
